Author(s):  
Gordon Vasile

The success of the Religion class depends on a number of factors, some of them related to the students, others to the educators. From the second category, the essential factor is the teacher employed to teach the school subject. This study aims to examine the determining factor involved in teaching religion and to explain the paradigmatic profile of the teacher. His/her strong or weak points are decisive for accomplishing or missing the objectives of the Religion class. In the present study, the authors mainly consider the paradigmatic profile of an educator, in contrast with that of a mere school “employee.”

Based on the premise that the quality of the audit is related to the quality of the financial reporting, the purpose of this chapter is to verify if the audit is a determining factor in derivative financial instruments disclosures. However, the academic literature has revealed that audit quality is influenced by a number of factors, such as gender, experience, and auditor's fees, as well as the type of audit firm (Big4 or not Big4). In order to achieve the proposed objective, a disclosure index was prepared, based on the requirements of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), applied to companies listed on Euronext Lisbon, excluding the sports corporations. The results revealed that the level of disclosure is influenced by the size of the audited company and by the auditor's gender, being greater in the larger companies and in the companies audited by a male auditor.

Nursing homes have been one of the most prominent targets of the COVID-19 coronavirus in Spain. The factors that have determined that this is the case are very diverse. In this study, physical agents and chemical pollutants, population density, and different capacities of the residences are analyzed to see their influence on the number of elderly people who have died in the geriatric centres in the different autonomous communities (AACC) of Spain. A statistical analysis has been carried out on the variables observed. The conclusions show that in many places where this overflow of deaths has occurred, the residences were private, with some exceptions. The influence of physical agents and pollutants has been shown to be a determining factor, especially for the communities of Extremadura and Castilla-La Mancha, although it is true that the large number of factors makes the study complicated. The dilemma between air quality and energy efficiency is of great importance, especially when human health is at stake.

The purpose of this article is to study the possibility of modelling accounting policies and accounting processes. Since accounting processes don’t have defined parameters, to study them we can model their functional features and forecast the behaviour of the object in question in various situations. It is achieved by means of developing certain sign patterns: charts, schemes, unified forms and rules for filling them out. Such modelling is called sign modelling. The most important type of sign modelling is logical-mathematic. In logical mathematic modelling, sign formations and their elements are considered in connection with certain transformations and operations with them. A logical mathematic model (LMM) is a basis (mathematic and linguistic provision) for creating algorithms for accounting processes and software development. Since the accounting objects are rather diversified, the principles of processing corresponding information can also differ. For instance, the most efficient accounting methods and approaches for large enterprises and turn out to be irrational for small enterprises and even result in additional losses and unnecessary increase in the amount of differently detailed information. Methods of the research: the statistical method of the questionnaire and generalization for studying the preconditions of accounting policy development at enterprises; the method of expert evaluation of strong and weak points of the analysed enterprises to define options and threats for their economic activity. Practical results. The content of the conceptual apparatus “accounting policies” is considered. The expediency of application of mathematical modelling information of accounting policy of the enterprise for the choice of effective methods of conducting financial accounting is substantiated. Elements of stages of the process of modelling accounting processes and accounting policy are studied and improved. When creating an accounting model, it is important to take into account which of the factors should be entered into the model. On the one hand, while using a model for forecasting, it is necessary to take into account as many factors as possible. On the other hand, gathering and processing large amounts of information are time-consuming, therefore, it is better to reduce the number of factors restricting by the most powerful ones. Value/originality. The choice of accounting policy should be based on modelling, the central link of which is a system of accounting and analytical support.

Biogenic flow is the determining factor of ecological well-being of water bodies. It depends on a number of factors, such as weather conditions, soil and vegetation cover, agricultural use of the catchment area. Its simulation is possible based on a complex water quality model with parameters distribution. In this paper, we show that the model calculates the water flow with satisfactory accuracy and gives reliable values of phosphorus flow in the investigated river outlet. The influence of dryness of the year on the phosphorus flow is important and reduces dissolved phosphorus flow several times. The results of experiments with the model show a decrease of dissolved phosphorus flow subsequent to cease of fertilizing in range from 5 to 11%. The values of the surface and groundwater genetic components of phosphorus flow are comparable, while soil component amounts 65% of local phosphorus flow.

It happens from time to time that a beneficiary under a will chooses not to accept his or her inheritance. One possible reason, which is relevant to the discussion below, may be the beneficiary’s desire to allow persons to inherit, or inherit more than would otherwise have been the case, as a result of the renunciation. (For a fuller discussion of the various circumstances in which a beneficiary may wish to renounce, see Corbett, Hofmeyr and Kahn The Law of Succession in South Africa 2ed (2001) (Corbett) 17–18.)The effect of a renunciation on the devolution of the deceased testator’s estate is determined by a number of factors, including the particular provisions of the will, and varies from case to case. One determining factor is section 2C of the Wills Act 7 of 1953 (as amended) – of which the counterpart in intestate succession is s 1(6) and (7) of the Intestate Succession Act 81 of 1987 (as amended).

Halstead's correlational matrix of 13 neuropsychological tests was reanalyzed with the objective of obtaining a more neuropsychologically meaningful solution. The emphasis was on solving for different numbers of factors (three and five). The three-factor solution supported and perhaps refined two of Halstead's original factors (P and A). The third factor loadings resulted in a considerably different concept than Halstead's D. The three factors (psychological vigilance, abstraction, and perception and memory for incidental stimuli) may be an essential factor pattern in recovery from head traumas. It was concluded that the investigator should not a priori be committed to a structure involving a particular number of factors. Experimentation with factor number or method would allow evaluation of the best psychological fit to the data.


In the economic field, business development is crucial for the socioeconomic development. On the one hand, the creation of companies can be an effective solution of the unemployment. On the other hand, business development is an essential factor of economic growth. Thus, the development of a country is correlated with its business development. However, business results are not always guaranteed. For this reason, controlling a number of factors related to results is an absolute necessity. Our research aims at studying a set of elements contributing to the results of the success and failure of Turkish companies. For this purpose, we considered a sample of 46 companies, which is subdivided into two sub-samples, the first represents the "Successful companies "; this category represents 74% of the total sample. The second represents the remaining 26% formed the "Failure companies". Empirical results highlight the importance of factors related to; the Business plan, the innovation, the marketing strategy, and the human resources. However, ignoring these factors lead to the business failure. Therefore, the prediction of success or failure factors will deliver key information to decision-makers on the mistakes to be avoided and the precautions to be taken

Chthamalus stellatus is a littoral barnacle very similar in habitat and general ecological relations to another littoral barnacle, Balanus balanoides. In those localities where both species flourish they compete considerably for space, and also possibly for food. The fact that B. balanoides settles sooner after the winter storms than does Chthamalus probably favours the former.Chthamalus is characteristically a southern species and Balanus balanoides a northern one, but the north and south ranges of the two species overlap in the British Isles and in France. The determining factor is presumably temperature.Chthamalus is an Atlantic species, and Balanus balanoides is more characteristically a North Sea species. The essential factor in Atlantic water remains unknown, although in respect of a need for Atlantic water Chthamalus resembles Sagitta elegans and intertidal Echinus esculent.

There have been a number of factors shaping and deter-mining the success of learning and mastering foreign langua-ges, including Arabic language. Along with learning activities to achieve excellent ability in comprehending Arabic language, language environment becomes another most essential factor. The existence of Arabic environment (bî’ah lughawîyah ʻArabîyah) beco-mes an exceptionally pivotal because it brings about what so-called “contextual learning activity” around the students. The article discusses the case of Mambaus Sholihin Islamic Boarding School which develops such language environment. The study shows that this Islamic educational institution has faced, however, several problems regarding inconsistent implementation of the language environment even though there have been numerous language instructors graduated from a number of universities in the Middle East and Indonesia as well as Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia. Specifically, these are a number of problems as regards to the issue: 1) there has been no such an organizing team; 2) the students have no self-confidence to practice Arabic; 3) the human resources engaging in the implementation of the Arabic environ-ment have less motivation to earnestly run it; 4) bad influence of senior students to the new students; and 5) there has been no strong awareness to use Arabic for daily communication.
